It will feature live music by three bands:SOME NOW ARE who have released singles and albums over the last 40 years on various labels. They have played numerous live events and have supported New Order, The Smiths and the Chameleons. They have also worked in and recorded at many iconic studios including CARGO, STRAWBERRY, SPIRIT and SUITE 16. They have also worked with several named producers including Peter Hook. MY LITTLE UNIVERSE has recently returned to live shows, he will be performing tracks from his brilliant latest album Darwen along with some of his back catalogue of 80s-influenced synth based instrumental music.
